100+ STAR REVIEW
★★★★★
“ Dear Ian, the kindness and care with which you handled my father Bert’s funeral was above and beyond anything we could have wished for. Your attention to detail, the respect you have shown, your sincerity and your willingness to work all hours under pressure to honour my father prove that you are a shining example to your profession. My father had great admiration for Craig Adamson and I have no doubt that he would have been truly honoured by the warm, touching and personal eulogy that Craig gave at the service. Like your own contribution to the day, it was delivered with grace and elegance. To anyone in the Kirkcaldy area who has experienced loss and grief, I have no hesitation in recommending your special way of helping to bring light to the darkest of times. I would give 100 star review if I could. On behalf of my family… with love and gratitude, Christine.”

Quality Throughout

“ Right from the first phone call, when my daughter and I spoke to Alistair, I knew we had made the right decision, to trust Ian Johnston Funeral Directors with my wife Anne's funeral. Alistair took a few details and explained the difficulties I would face in trying to turn around Anne's funeral in such a tight timeframe. He came up with a course of action, highlighted his responsibilities and explained what I had to do to have any chance of success. He fulfilled his objectives, making it look easy in the process, but I'm sure it wasn't, because the bureaucracy and formalities surrounding a funeral are complex. Alistair spoke to my family every day informing us of progress and of the next steps. Fortunately everything fell into place and we managed to work within our timescales. Throughout the whole process there was never a moment when I felt that I was alone. Alistair shared the family's pain, accepted our concerns and guided us through everything. He took ownership of the process but allowed us to be in control. He delivered when he said he would, called when he said he would and at a very difficult time for us, displayed a professionalism that others could learn so much from. Ian Johnston Funeral Directors is a special firm demonstrating quality from start to finish. Alistair is an outstanding human being for whom we owe a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you! Thank You! Thank you!”

“ It's been almost 3 years since we lost my Grandad. 3 years since Ian answered the phone to a tiny voice saying "My Grandad died yesterday and I don't know what to do." Since then Ian, Jan and Ally have been fantastic. They've been a great support even to this day. They also helped us make arrangements for my Mum's funeral when the time comes. Ian has looked after many people I know in the 3 years since I met him and I couldn't be happier knowing that people I care about are being looked after on their final journey by Ian, Jan and Ally. Thanks again.”
